That sounds like a great setup! It's awesome to hear you've had consistently good experiences with them.

@@ProAutoTips Yes i surely have and i used to change my own oil and filter in my Ford F150 and every time i went to start it i would hear clatter from the lifters and after going to Prompto i never heard that clatter again. I have been going to them for 35 years.

Got it. Soon I will upload video on your suggested topic

Wow good use of mind and experience

You need to apply fresh oil layer on your filter gasket

RISLONE, among many others now.

It doesn't count if the oil filter is on it's side.

Ah thats a good tip

Stop whining Liberal. Good information here.

Yeah, it might help if you get a life!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

No. Many filters are side mounted or more recently top mounted on many cars and filling them isn't even possible. The fraction of a second it takes for the oil to flood a dry filter does nothing. The first stop for the oil after leaving the filter is at the top of the engine at the cam. Most sit in oil and any air from the filter is simply a momentary fart. The cams first rotations are in the standing oil or oiled from oil in the oiler lines.

In this video, I also explained that you should prefill your oil filter

@@ProAutoTips Explain how to prefill a filter that is mounted sideways or up side down? Also many cars come with drop in cartridges I've owned several. Also you can use old oil on the filter gasket. I have been changing my own oil for over 50 years and never had any trouble using drain oil to coat the gasket.

@@tomjohnson5700 Yeah you can coat old oil but it is ideal to use fresh oil because old oil has contaminations that may lead to different issues. However, Prefilling an oil filter that mounts sideways or upside-down can be challenging because the oil will spill out when you install it. However, there are steps you can take to minimize spillage while ensuring the filter is properly lubricated and prepared: 1) Partially Fill the Filter i) Add oil to the filter, but only enough to wet the internal media. Avoid completely filling it to the brim since the oil will likely spill during installation. ii) Tilt the filter slightly while adding oil to allow the media to soak it up more evenly. 2) Lubricate the Gasket: Apply a thin layer of fresh oil to the rubber gasket on the top of the filter. This helps create a better seal and makes it easier to remove later. 3). Rotate the Filter While Adding Oil: Slowly rotate the filter while adding oil so it can soak into the media without overfilling. 4) Be Ready for Quick Installation: Once the filter is prepped, move quickly to install it. This reduces the time oil has to spill out. Have a rag or paper towel handy to catch any drips. 5) Top Off the Oil After Installation: Once the filter is installed, check the engine’s oil level and top it off if necessary. Starting the engine will circulate the oil and fill the filter completely.

@@stevest1300 Even an 'upside down' oil filter can benefit from having the filter media 'wet' as it often takes 10~30 seconds for oil light to go out. If you change cars every few years you probably don't need to worry about accumulated wear but if your buying an older used car it could be a problem.

Nope! Hot oil pours out more from the oil pan and galleys than cold oil. Hot oil viscosity is thinner, while cold oil viscosity is thicker. So, you want to warm up the engine by driving the car to heat up the oil before draining the oil out of the oil pan.

@@Support_Ad_Blocker I wish I could. I don't have a lift in my garage. Nor would one fit. There is a cross over exhaust pipe right where I remove the oil filter & the drain plug. If I heat up my engine first? I risk getting a nasty burn at the least or worse an engine fire. Asshole engineers never think about the poor slob that has to work under that truck to change the oil.

@@7spower998 Then why when I measure the amount of cold oil versus the amount of warm oil does the cold oil total volume always win?

@@johnclyne6350 They are indeed making it harder for DIYers! Toyota has a silly cartridge oil filter that comes in pieces, and you have to put to together. No more quick, easy non-messy changes. And look at what they’ve done to transmissions. An inner fill tube that you have to remove to get the fluid out. All to discourage people from doing it themselves. Instead, take it someplace and let the lowest paid serf work on your vehicle!

@@7spower998 Absolutely right

If your car has an electronic throttle body (ETB), the system is slightly different but still depends on sensors like the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) to function properly. In vehicles with ETB, the throttle opening is controlled electronically, not directly by a cable linked to the gas pedal. Electronic Control Unit of your vehicle monitors inputs from various sensors (TPS, accelerator pedal position sensor, etc.) and sends signals to the ETB motor. Throttle Body Motor moves the throttle plate to adjust airflow based on ECU instructions. Throttle Position Sensor still exists to report the actual throttle position back to the ECU.

The filter should be changed with each change. This is because some old oil also remains in the filter and when changing it, we want to drain out as much of the old oil as possible. If you think it's a shame to change the oil filter so early, then delay the oil change for about 3,000 miles and change the oil and filter at that time. Of course, it is not necessary that you have to change the filter as well, if you change the oil earlier than the filter is supposed to last, then nothing will be wrong with the filter.

I use Mobil 1 in all my equipment. I use premium oil filters. When ever I change my oil it's either every 6000 miles or one year. I dump both the oil & filter. Oil is cheap. Engine parts are not.

Prefilling the oil filter with oil is necessary to prevent powertrain dry start up.

@ The asshole engineers that designed my truck put the oil filter in a tough spot. It is positioned so the filter is flat. I prefill my oil filter with new oil & when I screw it on. More than half of the fresh oil pours out until I have it threaded on enough. When I start my truck there is a moment where there is no oil pressure & then there is.

Are you saying your car was jerking until you got new rims? You're joking right?

@ not really jerking but at 80 it would have a little shake to it. Got new rims and now it’s smooth at 100 as it is at 55. I don’t know how to explain it but that’s what I know

I agree, it's too loud and irritating
